Colt Woodsman.

I have a friend who owns a Colt Woodsman .22. He says that his pistol was made in 1917. Is that possible? I haven't seen the gun, so I cannot say anything about its condition, but what could be it worth?

There was a Pre-woodsman made from 1915 to 1927. The 1st series Woodsman came out in 1927. Depending on which variation and it's condition, it could be worth from $200-$2700. So you see that an accurate estimate of the value would be difficult without a "hands-on" examination.

try www.coltautos.com serial # wood help. $2700?? mebbe 4 a factory engraved with box and papers and like 98%. Blue book and Krause show a range between $200-$1500. Remember CONDITION IS KING!! These are fine pistols worth owning, the early series should not be shot with modern Hi-Vel ammo. again.erial # will tell alot.

I have a Colt .22 Woodsman Match Target Pistol (serial #MT4577)...by the serial # I found that it was made in 1917. I am trying to sell it....I was told I can get up to $2000 for it. Would this be the right price for it?

My source says MT4577 was made in 1939; the MT series did not begin until 1938, so 1917 is incorrect. The original MT Woodsman can bring almost twice that that if in like-new condition with the box and and with the original "elephant ear" grips.

Lesser condition would bring less, of course, and there is no way anyone can even make a guess without good, clear, pictures.
